I know it is possible because I have done this before ... Try adding the device names to the mdadm.conf.... An alternative would be to create a partition table on /dev/md0 of type fd, this way it should be handled properly by the rest of the MD auto assemble code. The other option might be to use a different superblock version between the two arrays... Other than that, I'm not too sure, maybe someone else could comment? Perhaps you could provide the logs generated during bootup in relation to the MD discovery etc Regards, Adam -- Adam Goryachev Website Managers www.websitemanagers.com.au -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
